Behavior icons

Oh Miasmos, where art thou?

I'm not good at making icons. Miasmos used to make the icons for the pre-shipped behaviors, but he doesn't seem to be around at the moment. Is there anybody who would like to make a few icons, preferably in a similar style to the existing ones?

Currently I would be looking for icons for the following behaviors:
-Anchor to Screen (does what the block does)
-Endless Animation (allows splitting up an animation into several animations that are played as if it where a single animation)
-Toggle Button (a button template for a button that can be toggled on/off with 3 animations for on/off each: normal, mouse-over and mouse-down)

(I made icons for Draw Regions and Apply Force but copy/pasting parts of existing behaviors, so the current icons for these could be better as well.)

Apply Force   *i am sure i lost the style on this one, ignore it probably..
Tell me if there is some other immediate need.

Thanks!

Yes, the Apply Force icon looks nice, but it maybe raises expectations about the behavior that it cannot fullfill. It's a very simple behavior, where if you press a direction key the actor is just pushed in that direction.

Hmm, I'm thinking for Toggle Button, could you maybe make it look like a checkbox with one checked and one unchecked state? That would probably explain best to what the behavior does.

And no worries, there is no hurry with these.

For the 'Apply Force' icon, I wonder if a hand, finger (or boot!) pushing the actor would more appropriately represent the behavior.

p.s. I wish I had the slightest bit of artistic talent!

Yup, that could work. :)

P.S. Me too. (actually I think I had some artistic talent, that's what everybody told me as a teenager, but after years of not practicing I think I lost it all :( )
